Who is Deez Nuts, the Independent 2016 presidential candidate who is reportedly polling at 9 percent in North Carolina against Republican and Democratic frontrunners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton?

Well, Brady Olson, 15, filed to run for President of the United States with the FEC on July 26 as Deez Nuts, sparking a Twitter trend, according to The Daily Beast.

The high school sophomore is the son of a farmer and a dental assistant who lives in rural Iowa. He tells the news outlet that he was inspired by the story of Limberbutt McCubbins, a cat from Kentucky seeking the Democratic nomination for president.

Williams thought “this is something Public Policy Polling would do,” so he squared Nuts off against Trump and Clinton in Minnesota a few weeks ago. He polled at 7 percent.

Surprise, Deez Nuts has roots in hip-hop. Digg breaks it down like this:
